About this map

Smith Peak and the high ridges of the Kaniksu National Forest dominate this high-altitude landscape in Boundary County. The terrain is characterized by dramatic elevation changes between summits like The Lions Head and deep drainages including Smith Cr and Long Canyon Cr. This survey illustrates the intricate network of alpine water bodies, from the secluded West Fork Lake to the waters of Myrtle Lake and Cutoff Lake.

Outdoor transit is defined by the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail as it traverses the southern portion of the quadrangle near Lions Head Ridge. Traditional access points are marked by the Smith Creek-Red Top route and various forest service trails. Notable landmarks such as Abandon Mtn, Lake Mtn, and Long Canyon Pass provide essential reference points for navigating this complex system of peaks and valleys.
